A World for Two

Bi Ji folded her wings, her emerald eyes surveying her surroundings, a hint of satisfaction on her face.

The island is rich in spiritual energy and fresh water, with dense forests and mountains providing cover, making it impossible for ordinary people to find. With her guarding it, and given the young man's own abilities, no one can harm him in the short term.

Di Tian stood on the beach, his black robe billowing in the sea breeze.

He didn't leave immediately, but turned around and gave Bai Yushan a deep look.

The look in that gaze was complex, containing scrutiny, curiosity, and a hint of inexplicable solemnity. He still remembered the lingering effect of that punch; the power hidden within this young man's body was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

But he didn't ask any further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and so do Soul Beast.

I'm leaving now.

Di Tian withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "I cannot leave the Star Dou Great Forest for too long."

He glanced northward, his brow furrowing slightly.

Now that Soul Beast are in decline, countless races have been wiped out and their roots severed.

However, the Star Dou Great Forest still hides many treasures that humans covet and crave.

As the publicly acknowledged king of Soul Beast, Di Tian must remain there and cannot leave even for a moment.

Back in the day, the Dragon Clan roamed the world, Soul Beast covered the continent; what a glorious era they were!

The Mountain and River remain, but the masters have changed one after another. These surviving ferocious Ferocious Beast can only huddle in a forest, guarding their last possessions, fearing that one day even these little things will be stolen away.

Bi Ji nodded gently. Having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for hundreds of thousands of years, she naturally understood the burden on Di Tian's shoulders.

"Don't worry, go back home. I'll take care of things here."

Di Tian hummed in agreement, then looked at Bai Yushan, a glint of light flashing in his golden eyes.

"Kid, until things calm down outside, stay on the island and recover. None of those three from the Long Clan died in vain; the Federation will be in an uproar soon. With your skills, how far you go in the future depends on your own destiny."

Bai Yushan leaned against a rock and smiled casually.

"Understood, Brother Di Tian, take care on your journey."

Di Tian ignored his unserious behavior, his black robe suddenly swung, and the sand beneath his feet was shaken apart by the force of his energy. His figure soared into the air, transforming into a dark afterimage, with black ripples spreading across the space in mid-air. After only a few flashes, he disappeared into the horizon.

The sea breeze blew, and the beach fell silent again.

Waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, making a soft, gentle sound. The coconut palm leaves swayed in the wind, letting in dappled sunlight.

On the vast island, only the two of them remained.

Bi Ji stood there, suddenly unsure of what to say.

She glanced up at the boy beside her, then quickly looked away, focusing her gaze on her toes. The light green hem of her skirt swayed gently in the sea breeze, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt as her mind raced.

She had been keeping something from the boy.

Her true identity is a 400,000-year-old Emerald Swan, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

In his presence, she was always the gentle Bi Ji, the nominal chief physician at Shrek City Hospital, who would grill meat for him, sew clothes for him, and hold him in her arms when he was covered in blood.

This secret had been weighing on her heart for far too long.

Especially after Di Tian suddenly appeared right in front of her, his dragon might sweeping across the sky, her unease became even more unbearable.

She feared that once the boy learned the truth, he would look at her like she was a monster, and like those human Soul Master, he would be wary of her, or even harbor murderous intent towards her.

She was used to seeing how humans treated Soul Beast.

Tens of thousands of years of friendship are worthless in the face of self-interest and hatred.

Bi Ji's heart began to beat faster and faster.

Her mind even started racing, wondering how to bring it up, and what she would do if he really turned hostile.

In the moment when she was feeling uneasy, she was suddenly pulled gently by a force.

In a dizzying moment, she found herself in a warm embrace.

A familiar scent, tinged with a faint smell of blood and the burnt smell of lightning, wafted towards me.

It's Bai Yushan.

He had appeared before her without her noticing, and pulled her into his arms. His chest was firm and hot; through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel his strong heartbeat, steady and resolute.

Bi Ji froze, and most of the jumbled thoughts in her mind instantly vanished.

Bai Yushan's chin rested gently on the top of her head, his dark hair falling down and brushing against her forehead. His voice was low, a little hoarse, and carried an indescribable weariness and longing.

"Sister Bi Ji, I almost thought I'd never see you again."

These words, though spoken lightly, were like a needle, piercing deeply into the softest part of Bi Ji's heart.

Her nose suddenly felt sore.

She could imagine what the young man had gone through at the bottom of the cliff: the sword of Titled Douluo, the overwhelming killing intent, and the wounds on his body that hadn't completely healed even now. He bled alone on the rocky beach, hovering on the brink of death, and all he could think about was whether he would ever see her again.

Bi Ji's raised hand trembled slightly as it hovered in mid-air.

She suddenly realized that all her worries and concerns were utterly ridiculous.

Bai Yushan is still Bai Yushan.

The Xiaoshan who would fall asleep under the starry sky of the Star Dou Great Forest, resting his head on her arm. The little Xiaoshan who would call her "sister" with a mischievous grin, who would let down all his guard and be as crazy as he was in front of her.

He loved Na'er, and he loved himself.

This feeling has never changed since the first time he threw himself into her arms.

Bi Ji's hand, which had been hanging suspended, finally fell and gently wrapped around his waist.

She buried her face in his burning chest, her emerald eyes slowly welling up with tears. She could hear his strong heartbeat and feel the warmth emanating from his body. The panic and unease in her heart, like mist blown away by a spring breeze, gradually dissipated completely.

She buried her face in his burning chest, and tears welled up in her emerald eyes.

She could hear his strong heartbeat and feel the warmth emanating from his body. The panic and unease in her heart dissipated little by little, like fog blown away by the spring breeze.

After a while, Bi Ji finally raised her head again, her eyes still a little red, but her face had returned to its gentle appearance. She sniffed softly and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Xiaoshan, don't underestimate me."

She tilted her head back, her emerald eyes filled with a hint of arrogance, and spoke slowly and deliberately, "I am the fourth-ranked of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. How could two Super Douluo possibly threaten me?"

As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, exuding confidence, as if the person who had been driven to the brink of exhaustion by the two men on the cliff was someone else entirely.
